European Commission responds to high diesel prices in Cyprus
What happened
Diesel prices reached an all-time high of €2.126 per litre at a station in Limassol, Cyprus. The nationwide average for diesel is currently €2.022 per litre, while unleaded 95 petrol averages €1.757 per litre. In response to these high costs, the European Commission is expected to address calls from member states for greater flexibility in economic governance.
